Chapter 761 A Good Girl "Suitable" for Marriage (8)
Mu Zhou bit her lip, mustered her courage, and looked at Song Chuyu:
"Professor Song, do you have something to do later? Could you come with me to the 4S store? My family has been very busy lately, and this is my first time buying a car. I'm a little unsure about going alone."
She stared at him with bright, clear eyes, his image reflected in them.
Song Chuyu felt a sudden, inexplicable sense of disorientation in his chest.
He had already guessed what Mu Zhou wanted to say, but when she actually made the request, his heart felt as if it had been tugged by something.
He suppressed the subtle discomfort and continued in a gentle voice:
"Since we have nothing else to do, let's go."
Mu Zhou's eyes lit up instantly:
"That's great, thank you. I'll treat you to lunch later."

Although Mu Zhou asked Song Chuyu for advice, she had actually done her research and already had a target in mind.
Song Chuyu needs no further explanation.
Mu Zhou clearly expressed her needs, and the sales consultant, a young woman, patiently explained her concerns throughout the process.
Finally, Mu Zhou got out of the car and said:
"Then let's go with this one."
"Okay, ma'am, please come with me here to sign the forms and complete the formalities."
The entire car buying process was smooth and simple, and Mu Zhou breathed a sigh of relief afterward.
"Thanks for today. Come on, let me treat you to dinner."
Song Chuyu chuckled softly:
"Then I really got this meal very easily. I didn't do anything, and you still spent money on me."
“It’s different. If you weren’t here, I probably wouldn’t feel so relaxed and confident.”
Mu Zhou explained to him earnestly.
Song Chuyu's gaze met hers, but he looked away in an instant, his expression unchanged.
"Alright, then I'll gladly accept your offer."

Over the weekend, Mu Zhou's friend Tan Songqing returned from abroad, and Mu Zhou went to the airport early in the morning to pick her up.
The two hugged each other as soon as they met.
How long do you plan to stay this time?
"It'll probably only be a little over half a month, and I have quite a lot of coursework."
Tan Songqing tossed her luggage into the trunk and hooked her arm around her shoulder:
"Let's go eat something delicious first, I'm dying to eat it."
So instead of going home first, the car went to a folk music restaurant in the city.
"I saw many people recommending this place online. The environment is good, the food is good, and the waiters are muscular and handsome. The young lady who plays guitar and sings is also very cool."
As soon as Tan Songqing got in the car, she announced her destination and began to describe it to Mu Zhou in a vivid and engaging manner.
The bar on the other side.
It was still early, and the store was not yet open.
Qin Zheng sat in a quiet booth, silently drinking his wine, his face as cold as if covered with frost.
Chen Xiang, oblivious to the danger, moved closer:
"Brother Zheng, if you want to drink, let's go somewhere else. There are plenty of bars that are open during the day. Why come here? There's no atmosphere at all."
Chen Xiang owns many entertainment venues, both daytime and nighttime, ensuring that there is always a place to relax whenever you want.
Qin Zheng also invested in these businesses of his.
That's why he was able to come in and drink even before the store opened.
Chen Xiang only came over after his employees told him that Qin Zheng was there.
He was about to pick up the wine on the table when Qin Zheng glanced at him sideways, his wicked and fierce expression almost undisguised:
"Shut up, say one more word and I'm out."
Chen Xiang paused, feeling a chill run down his spine from being stared at.
In the past, when Qin Zheng was slightly drunk in front of his friends, he would discard his usual gentlemanly facade and reveal his carefree and irreverent nature.
Such a horrifying and explicit moment is rare.
Chen instinctively wanted to ask him, but remembering his words, she silently shut her mouth and looked at Lin Chongze on the other side, her eyes asking him what was wrong.
Lin Chongze was carefully examining Qin Zheng when, after a long while, he hissed:
"You didn't break up with your boyfriend, did you?"
Qin Zheng paused in his drinking, his eyes filled with a look that seemed to want to tear him apart.
Lin Chongze snapped his fingers knowingly, his tone smug:
"As expected, I guessed right! You're exactly like a heartbroken man right now."
Chen Xiang's eyes widened.
Broken heart?
He Muzhou?
Zheng Ge got kicked by his sister-in-law.
He almost blurted out, but after receiving Qin Zheng's sharp gaze, he forced himself to swallow it back.
Lin Chongze wanted to say more, but seeing the coldness in Qin Zheng's eyes, he held back.
He coughed lightly:
"So, what was the reason that girl broke up with you?"
When Qin Zheng had a fever last time, Mu Zhou came but left quickly afterward, and that's when he felt something was wrong.
Who knew they would break up right away?
Lin Chongze's words also brought Qin Zheng's slightly tipsy mind to a moment of clarity.
After calming down, he suddenly realized that he had no idea why Mu Zhou wanted to break up with him.
Somewhat absurd.
His handsome face darkened as he began to recall the events leading up to the breakup.
Could it be that when he had a fever, his insistence on her made her unhappy?
Or was it before that his indifference hurt her?
With a flicker in his dark eyes, Qin Zheng fell into deep thought.
Lin Chongze poured him a glass of wine:
"If you can't bear to part with her, just try to win her back. Young girls are relatively easy to coax."
哄？
Qin Zheng's eyes suddenly narrowed.
It's ridiculous that he thought Mu Zhou was just being stubborn and would calm down in a few days and be back to normal.
He also thought that young girls are proud, and when she came to beg for peace, he wouldn't say much.
It would be good if everything remained the same as before.
Unexpectedly, she didn't contact him even once during this period.
It's like they really broke up.
She appears to be such a gentle and good-natured girl, but she can be quite temperamental when she throws a tantrum.
Qin Zheng had also considered not forcing it; she wasn't the only girl like that, and he could find another one.
This was not a difficult task for him.
But the thought that she really didn't miss him at all left him feeling somewhat resentful.
He had mixed feelings, a complex mix of emotions.
At this moment, Chen Xiang received a message. After glancing at it, he excitedly said to Qin Zheng:
"Brother Zheng, look, your wife is 'taking a break', shall we go?"
"Dan" is that folk music restaurant and bar, which is also owned by Chen Xiang.
Naturally, Qin Zheng also invested.
Qin Zheng took his phone and looked at the person on the screen.
Mu Zhou was wearing a light pink long dress with a knitted cardigan over it.
Her long, smooth hair was gathered to one side.
She exudes a gentle and delicate beauty.
Even in profile, you can see her charming smile.
Ah.
After breaking up with him, it didn't affect her at all; she was still able to have meals with her friends.
Qin Zheng stared at the phone for a few more seconds with a half-smile before tossing it back to Chen Xiang and getting up to leave.
Chen Xiang and Lin Chongze got up and followed.
He's had a few drinks and doesn't seem to be in a good mood. I hope he doesn't cause a scene when we get there and they don't say the wrong thing.
By then, the relationship might truly be beyond repair.
They could all see that Qin Zheng seemed casual and indifferent towards Mu Zhou, even saying that he just thought she was well-behaved and suitable for marriage.
But in reality, he cared a lot about this relationship.
This might fool others, but it won't fool them.
If the young girl really breaks up with Qin Zheng completely, he doesn't know how crazy he'll go.
With that in mind, the two quickened their pace.
Meanwhile, after learning that Mu Zhou had broken up, Tan Songqing also asked him about the reason for the breakup.
